MICHAEL'S CRAB THERMIDOR



Michael's Crab Thermidor image

A delightful way of preparing real crab meat, delicious and not too time consuming provided you have 2 cups of cooked crab meat when you start. You can use fresh, canned or frozen crabmeat (thawed). It can be served as an elegant starter or as a main dish served with rice. I save the largest crab shells and after thorough washing use them to fill with the crab meat before cooking in the oven. They present very well that way at the table as unusual, but of course you can use ramekin dishes as well!

CREAMY CRAB MEAT THERMIDOR



Creamy Crab Meat Thermidor image

I don't usually measure the ingredients. This is as close to exact measurements as I can come. I hope that it works for you! You can switch out the cheese for swiss or gruyere or any other combination of cheeses that you'd prefer. It may give it a different taste and texture, but it's still works.
